"Every book is a children's book if the kid can read." - Mitch Hedberg

So that's why I made my channel 6 years ago, to talk about things I like and, more specifically, to say nice things about female characters Like in this video I made about Osha in The Acolyte. I've got series on comic book movies, Star Wars, Disney princesses, and more youtu.be/XkfNArDZV8U

She really just had the ballgag on her, huh? In her utility belt? I know writers who use subtext, and not a one of them is Gail Simone. We appreciate that 😌

Watched Independence Day for the first time since I was a kid, and gotta give three cheers for a film with a sex worker in it who not only isn't fridged, isn't ashamed of her job, but also has a happy romantic ending with one of the heroes of the story? also snaps for Jeff Goldblum's face card

Happy Independence Day

Right, the thing about this speech is that he says BOTH that the Fourth of July is a sham, the day that reveals hypocrisy and injustice, AND that the principles of the Declaration are saving principles You can't understand either side of the speech without the other, imo

Rose Tico of The Last Jedi. She IS the hero of the film. She loses her sister, and while grieving, STILL does her job stopping deserters and trying to keep the resistance moving forward.

Points to sign. 👇

I've come to resent a lot of video essayists because no matter how nuanced they'll be on a whole swath of franchises, they'll have the most basic Star Wars takes. Like "I'm just here for tumblr clout" takes.

Nightcrawler bc I watched a lot of xmen evolution as a kid

Rey fans can skip this bc they conclude she is one by ignoring actual plot events I'm so fucking tired. When will I be free of this bullshit

well yeah 🦈 #art #sharks

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky

Pretending that education is just job training and that it should be stripped of all non-utilitarian elements is one of the worst ideas in the history of ideas. Acting like it's some kind of axiom we should be using to orient ourselves at the moment is disastrously wrong-headed.

Guys, I can't stress this enough, comment on the things you love. Whether it's art/writing or anything in-between. You have no idea how much of an impact it can have on the artist or writer who feels like they are ready to give up. One little comment can make it all seem worth it.

Disney were absolute bastards for not only cancelling this show, but also removing it completely (more so bastards because they did so as a tax write-off and to stop cast and crew getting royalties). ‘Willow’ (2022) is top tier stuff, and needs to make a comeback

Catwoman is iconic no matter how minor a character she might be In this mini episode, let's talk about the Cat in Batman the Brave and the Bold: her schemes, her flirty relationship with Batman, and how she stays true to character #Catwoman #SelinaKyle youtu.be/jEERmUV9vr8

Yeah, if only the Sequel Trilogy had a storyline where the people who defeated fascism ignored it, only to see it rise up even stronger than before. Or one showing how a bunch of rich assholes got that way by making money off both sides of a war.

The picture use hurts a specific group of shippers 😭

oh the latest entry in my column THE WORK is up, in which the movie MICHAEL made me think of stories told to resist cultural shifts towards equity, and how anyone can use these tools to whatever ends they wish aftermath.site/the-michael-...

happy mother's day #RenewTheAcolyte

The lead in MK2 is Kitana. You’re supposed to think it’s Karl Urban but he’s just kind of along for the ride.

2026 May the 4th vibes.

Never thought of this man for over a decade because he destroyed his legacy, so I felt like I was in some horrible alt reality when I saw the trailer But he's the obvious choice to test out rehabilitating images so the worst people alive can imagine that their own legacies will be anything but dust

Pretty sure this is the flirtiest BatCat I've seen, and I was not expecting it from an animated show 😆

Film you've watched more than six times with gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli

Catwoman never changes her stripes - she's the quintessential cat burglar in the Batman (2004) Perfected by the animation, this feline femme fatale iteration has plenty of heists and won't hesitate to show her claws - or flirt with the caped crusader Let's dig in youtu.be/XNw_K70ntQs?...

The Acolyte was giving us the origin of the Knights of Ren, the cause of the fall of the Jedi, the start of Plagueis and Palpatine's plans. The trade federation, the failures of republic bureaucracy. It was the only show to actually try and reference canon in broad ways not just Easter eggs.

The female characters are allowed to have flaws while being correct about our heroes and what they need to learn Poe from Holdo and Leia, Finn from Rose, and both Luke and Kylo from Rey, who is still learning too It's rare both in this series and out of it for women to be so narratively important

I think what shines in this movie is Rian Johnson's unabashed love of "genre." In all his films he's self-aware of a genre's trappings, while simultaneously flaunting how much he understands them. Too many people talk about TLJ like it's a rebuttal of Star Wars. No. It's a CELEBRATION of Star Wars.

I know I'm biased, but I can't believe Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn, ALFRED PENNYWORTH, and now Clayface have gotten solo spinoff projects /but not Catwoman/. She should be the easiest to make a plot for!! Is Warner Bros still mad about the 2004 Catwoman movie?

Excellent as usual but I sincerely hope Dan never makes a video on anything I do I think I would just disintegrate into dust upon hearing his critique 😔

Peggy Carter has more appearances than almost anyone else in the series, doing anything from founding SHIELD to becoming Captain Carter She also represents the interconnected universe as a whole, so let's talk about how #PeggyCarter #AgentCarter youtu.be/Yjiqknc4hig

Funding NASA is funding this planet‘s near and long-term health. You think solar power just appeared? GPS? Weather prediction? Battery tech? Most aspects of the microcontroller? Velcro? Space sciences are planetary sciences!

the Artemis mission is what I believe in and want to see more of in the world. smart, kind experts working together for knowledge and discovery.

Let's talk about Dr. Jane Foster - how she fits into the universe, how she breaks a few tropes, and how she takes fate into her hands #Thor #JaneFoster * I had to re-upload this one with a few changes, so please check out this version youtu.be/j34G31kdeo0?...

Maria Hill is one of the most prolific SHIELD agents in the MCU - let's talk about her role in each appearance and in the universe There's a reason she's Nick Fury's second in command #MariaHill youtu.be/DUjNT0J1DRs?...

Anyone who ranks The Last Jedi as the worst Star Wars movie is unserious and doesn’t deserve to have any of their opinions about movies in general listened to.

Happy birthday to Keira Knightley, who played Sabé in The Phantom Menace! May the Force be with you!

tell me your favorite… tree: aspens flower: tulips season: Winter tea: sweet ice tea coffee: never touch it time of day: morning genre: cozy fantasy, where it's like our world plus a little magic
